will this get better!?

Hi ladies, what do I do!!?? I'm 6 weeks pregnant and nursing my 8month old. Before I fell pregnant again he was down to 1-3 night feeds if that. Now he's like a newborn again! He's up every hour! He is teething as well so not sure what exactly it is! I was all up for letting him nurse at night as long as we wanted and wasn't going to sleep train but I'm so so so tired this is killing me! Any advice would be greatly appreciated x

It does, and doesn't. At least from my experience... I'm 17 weeks pregnant and still nursing my 17 month old. We had a really rough go in the beginning too. He was 5x a day and then another 5x at night. I made the choice to night wean him, which helped for awhile then he upped his number through the day. But he has recently cut that number down (thankfully). I feel for you. The best advice I received was to just take it one day, one feeding, one minute, at a time. It will get better, but there will be hard days too so just try not to focus on the long unpleasant days/nights and soon the tenderness will subside. Your LO could be going through either a mental or physical growth spurt, it could be teething, or any number of things that have caused him to feed more but he will slow down soon :)
